In memory of

My grand parents and aunts who died to cancer - En memoria de abuelos y tías que murieron de cáncer

My Story

Cancer has hit my family very hard. I have lost three grand parents, two aunts and a very good family friend to different types of cancer in the last few years. On the positive side, one of my dad’s brothers is in remission of a difficult bowel cancer, which is why I value the importance of research to find new treatments and make cancer even more curable. I’ve never been a runner; I only took up running four years ago, and now, close to 50, I decided to run my first half marathon! Madness, I know. I will run the Edinburgh Half Marathon on 29th May to raise money for Cancer Research UK, so more important research into cancer can get funded. So, if you want to help me along in my training, or just want to have some fun watching how I try to get over the finish line (🤣), please donate to my page today and help bring forward the day when all cancers are cured! Por desgracia, el cáncer nos ha golpeado fuerte en mi familia. Tres de mis abuelos, dos de mis tías y un amigo muy cercano de la familia murieron por distintos tipos de cáncer en los últimos años. En la parte positiva, un tío se recuperó por completo de un complicado cáncer de colon. Con todas estas experiencias, muchas tristes pero otra positiva, he podido entender la importancia de la investigación para conseguir nuevos tratamientos que hagan el cáncer cada vez más curable. Sólo la ciencia, la investigación y el conocimiento nos ayudarán a mejorar los tratamientos y la prevención. Solo empecé a correr de manera regular hace unos cuatro años. Nunca antes había corrido tanto, pero ahora me he propuesto terminar mi primera media maratón como un reto. Una locura, lo sé. Voy a correr la media maratón de Edimburgo, en Escocia, el 29 de mayo para recaudar fondos para la investigación contra el cáncer. Si quieres apoyarme en esta media maratón (o divertirte viendo como intento completarla 🤣), ayúdame a recaudar dinero para la investigación contra el cáncer. Dona usando esta página y te lo agradeceremos todos los afectados por el cáncer de una manera u otra. ¡Muchas gracias!
